Porsche's Panamera lineup is poised to expand as the company is reportedly working on a new diesel variant as well as a high performance GTS.

Although little is known about the Panamera GTS, it is expected to be positioned above the Panamera Turbo. This means the GTS will likely boast more than 500 horsepower, which should enable it to beat the 4.0 second 0-60 mph time of the Panamera Turbo. The GTS is also expected to ditch the Turbo's heavy air suspension system, in favor of traditional coil springs.

According to Autocar, Porsche is also considering a diesel-powered Panamera. If such a model were to be built, it would likely adopt a modified version of the Cayenne's 240 bhp 3.0-liter V6 or the Audi A8's 322 bhp 4.2-liter V8.

 

Sounds tempting, I hope it looks as good as it seems when written. The Cayenne GTS looked superb but the performance was lacking slightly as it is heavy.

 

Diesel? Those crazy Germans.

 

why not the diesel out of the V12 Q7 TDI? Wouldn't that make a good GTS? Hit 2 birds with one stone?


jk

 

Manual transmission hopefully.

 

Sounds interesting
